This two day course provides an indepth hand on experience of making silicone rubber moulds that can be used for a range of techniques for glass casting. Suitable for beginners and the more experienced.

This comprehensive course focuses on the exciting potential of silicone rubber mould making and transference to plaster quarts moulds to create cast glass pieces fired in the kiln.
